Letter from The Editor: This is our month

I hear many people saying they disagree with Black History Month. Some, asking why is just one month devoted to Black History, or asking in turn where is White History Month? is? I say to that, Black people are never satisfied. We must embrace the past! We must embrace the past so that we can know where we came from and how we must progress from there…

All in a Name

All in a Name

Why would a man want to hyphenate his name? As “progressive” as it may be, it is emasculating for a man to take a woman’s name in any form. It basically says that he isn’t about anything and/or he’s not the head of his household. He might as well polish his nails and birth the babies…

Beats, Rhymes, & Laughter

In a world full rappers talking about all the stuff they claim to own and claim to do one can think its quite comical with their outlandish antics. Well today we interview a person with a great a sense of humor. A man who’s first album was actually a college project back in 1999, which turned into what was a big underground hip-hop following throughout the East Coast and Europe and even touching down some fame in the West Coast


Things DARKIES say

Reid is making a point that describes how if Obama’s skin tone was darker and his speech resembled a more Negro dialect that he wouldn’t be accepted as president because his perception as a darker skinned Black with a Negro dialect would vastly differ from that of what mainstream America is capable of tolerating. I think Reid is onto something RACE which is still a taboo topic for most Americans regardless of the tone of their skin red, white, yellow, brown and BLACK.
